After a month of the political position's demanded respite, the Turkish parliament opened yesterday, under customary solemnity.

From the throne's speech, the text of which is regardfully attached, it is clear that the government is still seeking to enforce the invention, that it was the Russian navy's attack towards that of Turkey, that provoked the outbreak of the war.

As specific objects for parliament's prospective deliberations are given in the throne's speech partly the granting of authority to the defense, partly certain constitutional amendments. The latter two aim at the balanced relationship between state powers. According to the newspaper "Tanine", the young Turkish parliament decided to perform amendments in the constitution, such that the Chamber of Deputies meets during 4 months every year, and the government is granted the power to dissolve the chamber during the war. The mentioned newspaper considers that the changes in question, which are innate successions of the young Turkish party's agenda, can already be regarded as adopted by the Chamber of Deputies. This statement of this semiofficial newspaper, clearly shows, how the Turkish parliament has been reduced to simply approving the ruling party's decision.
